Marcus Rashford future: Manchester United loanee makes private Ruben Amorim admission

Seye Omidiora 13:50 - 23.04.2025

Marcus Rashford has reportedly made a private admission about his Manchester United career.

Marcus Rashford reportedly feels a return to Manchester United under current manager Ruben Amorim is improbable.

The forward, who has been on loan at Aston Villa since February, has scored four goals for the Midlands club.

Rashford's loan deal at Villa Park concludes at the end of the current season, with the Villans having a reported £40m clause to sign the former Europa League runner-up.

While his contract with Manchester United extends until 2028, BBC Sport report that sources close to the player suggest there is no clear path back into the first team at Old Trafford.

Rashford’s Manchester United future

Rashford was previously excluded from the Red Devils squad by Amorim following a disagreement over his approach to training and playing, and the Portuguese manager’s public comments indicated a fundamental difference in their footballing philosophies.

As per the report, United will now have to decide whether to sell the 27-year-old permanently or consider another loan deal in the summer.

Clarity regarding Rashford's future would be beneficial for United's financial planning as they aim to reshape the squad to align with Amorim's preferred style of play.

Rashford has reportedly ruled out a move to a London-based club and ideally seeks a transfer to a team competing in the Champions League.

The report indicates that Rashford is not planning to hold talks about his future until mid-June, while he is also understood to be against being involved in any potential swap deals.

As per the BBC report, Rashford believes that his performances for Aston Villa should increase interest from potential suitors compared to when he initially joined the club on loan.

What next for Aston Villa?

Aston Villa return to Premier League action on May 3, a week after this weekend's FA Cup semi-final match-up with Crystal Palace.

Rashford, who has been preferred over Ollie Watkins in recent matches, should play a pivotal part for Unai Emery in those contests.
